these are sad new, I hope that Princess Lilian will not suffer much from this awful disease . No wonder Victoria was teary whe she received the portrait . I wish that she will be able to understand what is going on with Victoria;s wedding and even watch a bit on TV, IMO it would make her happy to know that her grand niece is happily getting married.I don't know it this is serious yet but, I have the feeling that , given she was not seen in public for quite a time , the family knew about bit for some serious time and was not much willingto make it public and that the diease has progressed until now. IMO it doesn't seem much coincidence to me that the announcement make right before Victoria's wedding , which she was really expected to attend as a family member. I feel sorry for her, she doesn't deserve it , not her and not anyone else suffering from this
